Monty’s Pass, the winner of the 2003 Grand National for trainer Jimmy Mangan and jockey Barry Geraghty, sadly passed away last week at the age of 29 and 888sport, who sponsor Geraghty, have created this tribute video.
The video was filmed back in September at Mangan's yard in Conna, County Cork and the plan was to release the footage in April ahead of the Grand National to mark 20 years since Monty Pass' Aintree victory.
Hosted by Jimmy’s daughter and leading broadcaster Jane [Mangan] who was just eight years old on the day back in 2003, her father and Barry took a look back on the early days of Monty’s career before discussing the long-term plan to have him ready for the 2003 Grand National and the race itself.
